Last week we helped Voyager Software to promote a webinar on the subject of How Super Recruiters Source On-line. It was only 35 minutes long but they managed to pack in a load of great tips.
If you contact Steve Smith at Voyager he should be able to send you a link to the recording and a whitepaper they’ve produced, however, in the meantime here are a few tips I picked out of the webinar:
Super Recruiters:
Know their Market
Search multiple sources
Utilise technology to search sources simultaneously
Know when and where to invest extra effort
Remain disciplined in their approach to sourcing and logging of data
Super Recruiters will:
Search relevant job titles, common variations and associated titles (todays Payroll Clerk is tomorrows Payroll Manager)
Understand the exact requirements of the role
Know what qualities, experiences and interests match not only the role but also the client and their culture
Take into account how often a candidate has moved employers, got a promotion etc.
Identify ambition and desire (social media is a good source for this)
He also talked about x-ray searching, stealth searching and boolean logic – all of which is in the whitepaper.
I’ve got a great quote here from one of the attendees; Ruth Winden of Careers Enhanced Ltd
“Considering my busy schedule, Steve’s webinar was an incredibly good use of 30 minutes. It was packed with excellent content, put social recruiting into context, yet also gave practical online recruiting strategies, tips and hints. And as a bonus, Steve even shared his content via white paper. Kudos!”
This is the first in a series of webinars we’ll be offering with parterns so keep an eye out on our site for more.
